PURPOSE Analysis, evaluation and classification of hepatic arterial supply variants and determination of their frequency distribution in CT-angiographies. MATERIALS AND METHODS CT-angiographies of 1,568 patients were evaluated retrospectively for the period between January 1, 2010 and August 30, 2012. The hepatic arterial anatomy was assessed and categorized according to Michels's classificat...

iatrogenic coronary artery dissection during coronary angiography with or without rupture is a rare but feared complication . we herein report a case of iatrogenic left main coronary artery dissection in a 49-year-old female. admitted to our hospital with a recent history of severe hypotension, she develpled apnea during angiography. she was intubated  and resuscitated with an epinephrine infus...

budd-chiari syndrome is caused by the obstruction of the hepatic venous, with high mortality rate in nontreated cases. because the clinical presentation of this syndrome is nonspecific, is very important. contrast enhanced multiphase computed tomography (ct) and magnetic resonance (mr) angiography permits morphologic and functional assessment of liver changes in suspicious clinical setting. the...

Hepatic artery aneurysm (HAA) is a rare disease. HAA generally asymptomatic disease when symptomatic, they usually present with abdominal pain, upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding and/or jaundice, hypovolaemia secondary to rupture or GI normal endoscopy. Surgical repair and endovascular treatment are the two therapeutic options available at present. Case report: A 49-year-old male presented em...

objectives: the aim of this retrospective observational study was to identify local and clinical factors related to the need of surgical repair. patients and methods: in this retrospective study, 122 (0.06%) fpas treated among 21060 patients over a period of five years were assessed. patient characteristics and therapeutic procedures were analyzed through hospital records. results: there were 1...

pseudoaneurysms rarely occur as a serious complication following incomplete hemostasis of an arterial puncture site. as a result of the increase in diagnostic and therapeutic angiography, the frequency of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm has increased as well. iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms associated with angiographic catheterization occur most commonly in the common femoral artery. here we report a case...

Hemorrhage from ruptured pseudoaneurysm is a rapidly progressing and potentially fatal complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Stent graft placement for hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm has recently been reported as a valid alternative to transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE). We report a case of pseudoaneurysm of the common hepatic artery (CHA) with distal arterial stenosis treated b...

spontaneous coronary artery dissection (scad) is a rare and important cause of acute coronary syndrome and sudden cardiac death. various etiologies are thought to be responsible for this condition, among which underlying atherosclerosis seems to be the most common. scad is predominant in women and is usually diagnosed via coronary artery angiography. therapeutic interventions include medical th...

Awareness of the presence of the accessory renal artery in kidney transplant, treatment of renal artery stenosis, clinical assessment of renal vascular hypertension, radiology and angiography interventions is very helpful. In 30% of cases the accessory renal artery is separated from the abdominal aorta and in most cases, this artery along with the main artery entered to the kidney through t...

Purpose. To investigate the extrahepatic collateral arteries related to hepatic artery occlusion (HAO) and to determine its benefits in the transarterial management of liver tumors. Methods and Findings. Eleven patients (7 hepatocellular carcinomas, 3 liver metastases, and 1 with hemangioma) with HAO confirmed with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) were admitted to our hospital. Of the 11 p...
